High Calorie Hamburgers

Mmmmm. Nothing quite says American cuisine like a big, juicy hamburger. But while we might indulge in this delight, most of us don't want to look big or juicy.

Forget saturated fat, sodium level or other indicators of health. We just looked at the pure bottom line: how many calories are in this burger.
